TRANSCRIPT
“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country”. I used to type this over and over in high school to practice my keyboard skills. Now with a little editing it could be a very important message to our membership. “Now is the time for all good club members to come to aid of our Convention”. Yep, we need all of our members to step up this month and next to pull together to prepare for our big “styrene soiree” on October 18-19th. If you have not scheduled off work for these dates, please do. We need your help and get ready to have a great time. Please check your shelves for last-minute raffle donations, open your wallets for banquet tickets and registrations, The Convention
Committee has worked very hard to make this show a very special one and we want you to be a part of it. Check with Greg or myself for an assignment of duties and we will find something for you to do on the days of the show. Oh, and remember to wear RVIPMS garb, either the Convention t-shirt or an RVIPMS golf shirt. One last thing, please bring lots of models to enter; the cost of entering twenty models is equal to the cost of entering one. It’s unlimited for a Regional. See ya’ Thursday night!!!
